What Is A Birthday Club For My Direct Sales Business?

First things first – let’s talk about what a birthday club for your direct sales business is!  Your birthday club is  a way for you to connect with your customers and build relationships.  Show them extra love on their special day!  After all – who doesn’t love a great birthday present?  And if your customers are anything like me – they will remember your thoughtful gesture long after their birthday has passed.

Having a birthday club is a great way to spread good will towards you and your business – all year long!  Besides that- you will get the feel good glow of making your best customers feel extra happy!

Should I Have A Birthday Club For My Direct Sales Business?

So should you start a birthday club for your direct sales business?  In my opinion,  you definitely should!  Think about it like this.  Why do you do anything for your customers outside of the normal business transactions?

You likely have several reasons for doing so.

First of all – they are your customers!  You want them to feel valued and appreciated.  Because they a

re your people!  They chose you because you attracted them to you.  And when you do a little something for them – you are choosing them back.  Your birthday club members will feel seen and valued by you,  their direct sales representative.  Which is relationship building and attraction marketing 101.

I love the friendships I’ve gained through my doTERRA direct sales business.  And I want my customers to feel appreciated and valued on their birthday.  These people matter to me and I’m thankful to have them as members of my essential oil community!

How To Track Your Birthday Club

Of course,  you will want to track your birthday club.  You don’t want to accidentally miss anyone’s birthday!  For our Exploring Butterflies birthday club,  I made a Google form where they entered their birthday information. Then from there,  I converted the Google form to a spreadsheet.

Once you have your client birthdays,  write them into your planner.  Or if you are digitally based, like I am,  set up a Google calendar.  Set calendar reminders you with enough time in advance to mail their birthday present.  You could do your birthday club mailings once a month.  Or mail them as they come up.  Go with whatever works for your own direct sales business and schedule!

Direct Sales Birthday Club Ideas

1. A handwritten card sent in the mail
2. A special pen and notepad set
3. Maybe some stickers,  and a pencil with a cute topper
4. Something small – such as a keychain,  or a magnet
5. A packet of flower seeds
6. A gift card for coffee
7. Mesh laundry bag (if it relates to your product – such as a direct sales clothing company)
8. Hair ties are always fun!
9. A bar of scented soap or lotion with essential oils in them
10. Funky sunglasses
11. Purse size tissue pack in a fun print
12. Samples of your product;  especially if it’s something your gift recipient hasn’t tried yet,  or you know she has been eyeing in your shop.
13. A small polishing cloth – especially if you sell jewelry or another product that ties into it
14. A beautiful pack of assorted note cards
15. An adult coloring book

What NOT to send:  As a person with food sensitivities,  I’d caution against is anything that is food or candy.  You don’t want to accidentally cause anyone to have a reaction.

Ideas For Direct Sales Birthday Promotions

It can be fun to offer direct sales birthday promotions for your customers!  A promotion is a product discount you would offer on their birthday.  The advantage of offering a discount is that you will likely still have the ability to break even or make a smaller amount of income on the product.  And you don’t have to make a post office run,  either.

A tip if you are offering any direct sales birthday promotions.  Make sure that you are still breaking even or making money after the direct sales birthday coupon is applied.  Your goal is to create good customer relationships,  but not to break the bank by giving away free products.

Direct sales birthday promotions are a fun way to celebrate your VIP members.  Perhaps you offer a special birthday coupon,  or an exclusive promotion that they can ONLY get on their birthday!

I hope these ideas have been helpful for you!!
